Research abstract
In this project, a biofertilizerproduced as a digestate from a anerobic digestorwill be developed and the nurient content and other crop growtth benefits will be measured.Also, EBSRbiochar produced at Altex will be used as a CO2 adsorbent, thereby producing a pipe line quality biogas fromanerobic digesters. EBSR biocharis produced as a co product in the biofuel production process andthe cost is low compared to comercially available biochar and hence the cost of BCUBE biofertilizer is also low.
